~Around Me~

Throughout the years Ana had been mesmerised by the amount of changes in her boyfriend which had been started with her stepping in his life. The amount of times spent with him always wonder her how much her mere existence in his life had changed his behaviour from rude to sweet, from rough to soft. It felt good to know that she meant that much in someone's life. But was it always?

Ana looked down at him who's sleeping on her lap peacefully. Her right hand in his hair, running back and fro giving him a sense of relaxation. The couch was too small for him allowing his legs hanging down from the handrest. He was in his dreamland and she, in hers'. Thinking that he'd been slepping she stopped ruffling his hair and he instantly snorted in his sleep. Ana resumed her unfinished work and he wrapped his arms around her waists.

She went back in her thoughts. A few minutes ago the person sleeping on her lap was sitting beside him and was laughing like hell on a stupid joke she had cracked. Now, when she went back in time to think she discovered since they were in relationship she hardly had seen him rough around her except on tiny occasions when she'd done something wrong which was good enough to raise his anger bar.

She sighed. She didn't want it to happen. It's not like she didn't enjoy his soft nature and all but it wasn't like she didn't like his previous self. She did like his tough behaviour. The angry spark in his eyes was something which had made her to fall for him at the first place. The spark had been replaced with a comforting shine since she entered into his life. He's cheerful now. He's smile is contagious which never ever had yet failed to transmite itselt to her. Her lips curled immediately seeing his smile.

She not always thought about these things but when she did they make her helpless. She didn't want herself to feel helpless so she tried to sleep and was succeeded in a few minutes. Her thoughts remained haphazard like always.

Today, when she entered into the Grey enterprise to give him a file she saw him talking with a person. The angry young man's spark was back in his eyes. He's looking rough and tough. He's looking his usual self.

She moved inside, a little. Christian turned with a confusing gaze and as soon as he looked at her the angry spark was gone from his eyes, replaced by that comforting shine. He smiled at her. He's cheerful again.

When Ana didn't smile back Christian's smile turned upside down and he looked confused. But Ana was in her land of thoughts. Throughout the years she had been completely wrong! He wasn't changed. He's what he's. It's only 'she' that'd changed in him. He's changed around her. He's cheerful around her. He gave his contagious smile when she's around him.

Before Christian's smile could disappear totally Ana managed to smile at him and he smiled back broadly removing the burden from her heart. His love for her was so pure that his heart and brain had decided to treat her with partiality. She loved him more now, knowing he loved her that much.

KK: It was actually written for a different couple but when I was reading this today I thought to present Ana and Christian through this. I know it's not so good. But i couldn't help myself to post this.
